"Takanuva's powers illuminated Mata Nui's true destiny, which was hidden by Makuta with the powers of his mask. As Makuta was maskless when he fell in the Protodermis, he could not hide it any longer."

(Was on BS01 about Takutanuva) What does this mean?

I can comment on that. BS01 writes in its own words the storyline, which is why Greg can't recognize it.

Basically, as we saw it, Makuta was keeping key knowledge from the Toa, Turaga and other beings, thanks in part to his mask powers. When Takanuva managed to tear the mask off, he couldn't keep that secret from Takanuva, thus he learned what must be done, and Takutanuva opened the door. -RR

[Toa of Cheese]

Greg, I sent you a PM awhile ago about an important issue (not reguarding the storyline). Have you read it yet...?

[swert]

So I do have one question.

On the original forums, you answered the following to Andrew House:

5) WILL Mata Nui die in the new universe?
5) Why would he? He has never been attacked by the BOM in this universe. He is awake, alive and well.

So my question becomes, would Mata Nui actually condone the actions of the Toa, or would he frown upon them as being very un-Toa like? It's pretty obvious he wouldn't get involved, since he is, as you put it, "awake, alive and well," plus working on a more cosmic scale of keeping the universe standing rather than mucking with Matoran daily life and morals. -Swert

[Ceric Neesh]

I just have to say this: Questions only!
Greg isn't allowed by his contract to read any fanfic. He can only use names that are given to him by the legal team, and they can pick names from wherever the heck they want. Unless it's a contest, he can't look at MoCs, either. So quit asking him to do this stuff!

[Tanaku, Toa of Light]

Dude, calm down. This isnt the place for rants either. Anyways...

1). How many Toa are there?
1b, is that including Toa that have been transformed (mutated, etc)?

2). Is Nidhiki just green like Matau was, or did he have silver like Norik?
2b, Was his Kanohi green as well?
2c, Did it have the tube on the bottom left side like Nuparus?

[Toa of Cheese]

Is he really even going to tell you? That'd be like Greg saying, "Hey, guys! In 2011, we plan to..."
As far as we know, though, there are hundreds of Toa (have been, rather...now there are only about 14 or 15 that we know of...)

[swert]

Quoted from BS01:
56 Toa remain alive in the BIONICLE Universe. Of these 56, 22 are known: 6 Toa Nuva, 5 Toa Mahri, 6 Toa Hagah, Takanuva, Lesovikk, Krakua, the First Toa and a captured Toa suspended in Odina. Toa Ignika is not included because he is not a Toa, but merely an animated mask. Link -Swert

[Greg2660]

Swert -- This is the same Mata Nui who allowed the League of Six Kingdoms to reign for millennia, because they kept order. So why would he object to Tuyet keeping order?

[Tanaku, Toa of Light]

So, does would Mata Nui do anything against the BoM? I mean, they was going to take over, then keep that order wouldnt they?

[Greg2660]

But they want to take over by overthrowing Mata Nui. They are not willing to serve under him, they want him gone.

Wha?

And Greg, I sent you something else, very important concerning the interview...(plus I lost contact information when the old site shut down)
Now, I heard that in 09 we're being introduced to totally new characters and won't be seeing much of the others?

Will Miserix be a combiner/set/have instructions to build him this year?

Because Matoro's life energy was transfered to Mata Nui via the Mask of Life, would it be posable for an energy to 'sniff out' Mata Nui by following Matoro's energy trail?

[Cosmo Kramer]

1+2) You said that there were no shadow toa. Were Makuta considered toa? If so, were they destined to become evil and corupt because of their shadows? (Not the shadows that made them corrupt but the reason the got those powers in the first place)

3) Makuta is super powerful. If he did not want the toa to interfere on MataNui, why not kill them in the beginning and finish the battle then and there? (On the island of Mata Nui)

Andrew House signing off!

[swert]

So I'm willing to bet Mata Nui won't be making an apperance in Dark Mirror, correct? -Swert

[DEATH PANDA]

Why is Takanuva become Giant Panda?
Seriously- how'd he get that big? And who exactly gives him the Midak?
Does he ever return to full Light power?
Will Darkmirror Takua use any powers?

[Mega ToaX]

So in Darkmirror, is the Brotherhood of Makuta destroyed? The Dark Hunters? And, is the OoMN still a secret in the new universe?

[Greg2660]

Gerard - I cannot discuss 2009.

Tanaku - 1) All I can tell you is he will be a model and won't be for sale. I will have more info on this later on. 2) No.

Usernamebio - 1) No. Makuta are not Toa and never were. Toa are either created as Toa, or they are Matoran who become Toa. Makuta are a completely different species. 3) Good question. Consider why it is that the Toa Nuva aren't getting killed immediately in Karda Nui -- now why would the Makuta NOT want the Toa Nuva dead?

Swert - No. Mata Nui does not make direct contact with the beings in his universe, and if I was going to reveal him or have him speak in story, it wouldn't be in a web serial. That's too big a revelation for that format.

Toa of Whimsy - Most of what you are asking concerns future storyline, so I can't answer it.

MegaToaX - Follow the serial and all will make sense.

[DEATH PANDA]

Suppose the BIONICLE Planet is attacked... and the Matoran Universe is under threat...

Mata Nui will handle it, right?

[Cosmo Kramer]

1) the mask of time just disapeared from the storyline after Tahu's use. Will we hear about it again?

2) Why does everything have to be as it was before Mata Nui's coma? Does it have anything to do with the mask of time or history repeating itself? XD

3) How old are the toa Nuva?

4) Can a toa/turaga/matoran live forever if they are not killed first?

5) Can a great being live forever?

6) Do any other planets come in handy later in the storyline?

7) How did the toa get their visions? (Gali/Kopaka/Vakama)

8) Where is the MoMN? (in Karda Nui?)

9) How are shadow leaches made?

Sorry for the many questions that I had from yesteryear. I hope you can still answer most of them like you did on the last site.

(PS: Have you read my Theory about the ending with Mata Nui. If you think I am crazy with these questions, you're wrong. I am just testing/prooving some things!) ;D I really should shut my mouth from now on!

[Mega ToaX]

Does Lesovikk return later in the storyline? What about toa Krakua? O wait, this is going to reveal the future storyline, huh? Anyway, are you permitted to look at the set prototypes before they are released? Do you work only with Bionicle, or do you do things with other lego topics like Exo-force or batman?

[swert]

From Greg's Blog on BZPower:

Hey guys,

Just so everyone knows, I am offline from 2-11 through 2-15 -- I have LEGO Club meetings to attend.

So until the 15th, don't expect a reply too soon. You are warned. -RR

[Cosmo Kramer]

Wahhh! saddness. You people do not know how much trouble will be caused in 5 days. The world will come to an end! The amount of questions Greg will have would be unbearable. I feel really bad. I f I had known I would have saved them for later. I hope he will survive the hundreds of questions!

[swert]

He's done it before.

And he gets tons of PMs a day anyway on BZP.

Imagine what he got from Lego.com's feature. Daily. -RR

[Imatron]

I couldnt locate the comics to find the answer to this email, since it pertains to the comic I thought you might know:

"My son is a huge Bionicle fan and has been waiting patiently (well, maybe not so patiently!) for his next issue of Bionicle Ignition. The last issue he received was November 2007 #11. Do you know if there has there been another one issued since that one? It would relieve his mind if he hasn't missed an issue!
Thanks for your help!"

[Nate]

Immy, i think 12 is coming out in the March/April lego magazine? the next one that comes out, which ever one that is...... i don't get magazines anymore, so i don't know.

[Imatron]

Swert found the answer:

Immy:
the next comic is released in March
due to the transition between artists, they didn't do a January

Actually yes. The next magisine is in February and the comic is in the end of Feb. to the begginning of March depending on your location! I LIKE EGGS!!!!!

Wow, next time I should read every reply before I make my own! I also like chickens by the way! They came from eggs!

[Toa of Cheese]

But which came first?

Yeah, Lego is skipping a month. I wonder is this new guy, Larry something or other? has to offer us? And, usernamebio, double posting is highly discouraged here, unless it's for a set of mocs, stories, etc.

[Cosmo Kramer]

The egg. Science geek. I know but cells evolved into bigger cells, the biggest of which is the egg. Here is a better question. How was Mata Nui made? Did he make the great beings or did they make him? Who really came first in the bionicle universe? (Real question for Greg!)
